Hotel Panorama
Built in 1969, this gravity-defying construction was inaugurated on the occasion of the World Ski Championships in 1970. The original raw concrete version of Hotel Panorama was part of the new village of Štrbské Pleso, a project to construct a ski resort in the heart of the Slovak Tatra Mountains.
Hotel Panorama was designed by Czech architect Zdeněk Řihák. Known for his edge-cutting style, Řihák endowed the Panorama Hotel with an impressive graded frontage widening towards the top, offering a breathtaking view of the Tratra peaks at 1355 metres above sea level. Very popular at the time of the opening, the hotel stood adjacent to a station serving Czechoslovakia’s main railway line.

For those who are puzzled by the flag, it’s the flag of Czechoslovakia. (Which is the same as the Czech Flag)
